BBK is a proud sponsor of the 2025 Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, taking place October 8-10 in Long Beach, CA. As part of this premier gathering of municipal leaders, BBK attorneys will lead two sessions designed to empower local governments with practice legal insights. On October 9, Partner Gerard Lederer and Of Counsel Bennett Givens will break down the fast-evolving regulatory landscape surrounding wireless facility permitting, offering strategies to stay compliant while advancing local priorities. On October 10, Director of PRA Services and E-Discovery Counsel Darren Ziegler will dive into real-world California Public Records Act (CPRA) case studies, showcasing how missteps in handling requests can lead to costly consequences—and how to avoid them.

BBK attorneys are looking forward to connecting with California city leaders to share ideas, build relationships, and offer forward-thinking solutions to today’s complex legal and regulatory challenges.
